I'm just irritated by the binders.
No no no. I have worked with both. US binders are the stuff of the devil. Three holes, spaced out? You always manage to miss one! And the quality of the binders is usually terrible (cheap and plasticy). Give me a good sturdy European two-hole punch any day.
And don't even get me started on "US Letter" and "Legal"....
Just for the note, we now have an Irish Buffista, who we could have asked about the postcodes. It's Jars, who's in Dublin.
The ratio given by the sides of an A4 piece of paper. It has the nifty property that if you cut the paper in half crossways, the sides of the new (half-sized) pieces of paper are in the same ratio.
So the silver ratio is the square root of two, then. t /math geek

Correct, or rather (by convention) its reciprocal.
How can the square root of two be a ratio if it isn't a rational number?

A ratio doesn't have to be the ratio of two integers. There's no real problem with them being irrational numbers.
The `golden ratio' isn't rational, either. [IIRC, it's (1+sqrt(5))/2.]
Billytea, The Democratic Republic of Congo does have a postal service, my friend is living and working there, but it is not very good (go figure). I am a huge Buffy fan exhiled by the US government to Guinea, in West Africa. Hope to meet some worldly Buffy fans.
So, Unamerican but not by choice, huh?
Welcome to Buffistas, guineagal! Do you manage to get Buffy in Guinea?
guineagal, I hope you weren't exiled because of your Buffy-liking! That would be daunting news to all of us! :-)
